However, he also knew in his heart that the battle would not last long. After all, the Exploding Shark is a level 9 magical beast, and its physical strength is very amazing. Even if an ordinary person reaches the strength of a paladin, he will not be able to compete with a level 9 Warcraft.

In addition, in order to save Ace, the kamikaze was accidentally hit by the tail of the Explosive Shark, and his body must have been injured. Although on the surface, the god style at this time does not seem to be greatly affected, Ace still has some concerns.

However, the strength of the two is now comparable, and it seems impossible to distinguish them in a short period of time. If it continues to delay like this, it will only be more detrimental to the kamikaze.

Just when Ace was very worried, a white light suddenly lit up in the center of Kamikaze's eyebrows. All he could hear was yelling at the sky.

"What happened?" Ace could feel the momentum of his father's kamikaze suddenly soaring.

"What the hell is going on?" Ace was completely shocked by what he saw.

The whole person of the kamikaze is like God coming into this world. He was completely enveloped in light. The long sword in his hand was also bright and became more dazzling.

"Could it be ......" Ace had a very bold guess in his heart, but he couldn't confirm his guess.

The Exploding Shark was also completely stunned. It seems that he didn't expect the strength of this human paladin to suddenly rise.

However, before the Exploding Shark could react, the kamikaze had already rushed over with a long sword in hand!

The Exploding Shark hurriedly raised two pairs of claws as hard as meteorite iron, trying to block the attack of the two long swords.

When the blood shines, a pair of shark claws are immediately severed. The Exploding Shark let out a cry of grief, and then his eyes filled with fear and he wanted to flee to the depths.

"Hmph, do you still want to run?" Kamikaze snorted coldly, and the twin swords pointed straight ahead. His body turned into lightning. In the blink of an eye, I was behind the Exploding Shark.

Smelling the terrifying aura of the kamikaze, the Exploding Shark quickly raised its huge shark tail in an attempt to shake off the kamikaze.

However, the kamikaze did not dodge at all. He saw the shark's tail wagging around. Just waved his hand. The back half of the tail was severed by the long sword in his hand.

The Exploding Shark let out another miserable cry, and the two pairs of wings behind its tail fin quickly contracted and clung to its body, falling a little faster.

With a "plopping" sound, the Exploding Shark fell into the dark sea and quickly disappeared.

Ace couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Exploding Shark fleeing, feeling a little regretful.

However, at this moment, the kamikaze suddenly looked up at the sky and saw that in the thick clouds, the lightning became more and more dense.

Soon after, I saw that the kamikaze began to fly towards the clouds!

"What does Father want to do?" Ace didn't understand this.

The kamikaze flew upwards faster and faster, and the magic of the wings of the pair of "Wind Wings" behind him was quickly exhausted.

By this time, the kamikaze was already submerged in the clouds.

Ace's eyes widened and he saw a picture that he would never forget!

He saw a bright white dense lightning bolt on the tip of the Kamikaze's sword, and the whole person was almost immediately pierced into the vast sea by the lightning.

With only a "boom", the terrifying lightning continued to explode in the deep sea, instantly illuminating the originally dark sea.

At this time, Ace grew up, and his eyes were full of shock and doubt.

In the clouds, lightning from the sky never disconnects. At this moment, the sky and the deep sea were connected by a white lightning bolt.

Before Ace could recover from the shock, he heard the sound of a "collision". The kamikaze flew from the sea.

At this time, he was still calm, but there was still a residual flash of light on his body, and the kamikaze turned a blind eye to it.

He just kept his eyes on the sea!

Soon, hundreds of kraken corpses surfaced.

After that, there are the dark blue Exploding Sharks. At this point, it has lost its breath of life and floats powerlessly on the surface of the water, rising and falling with the waves.

At this time, Ace gradually woke up. He quickly flew to the side of the kamikaze and said, "Father, you are ......"

Kamikaze nodded: "I touched this threshold more than a year ago. Today, with this evenly matched battle, I managed to take the most crucial step. ”

Ace was ecstatic. When he saw his father's power suddenly increase, he secretly guessed that his father might have entered the realm of legends. Since Kamikaze himself admitted it, he was naturally very happy.

It is said that there is a mysterious realm above the power of the paladins called the "Templars". According to legend, they were knights who guarded the road to heaven.

Ace never imagined that his father had managed to reach the legendary kingdom of the "Templars".

In the afternoon, the north warms up in the sun.

In the vast wilderness, a father and son gallop by.

Kamikaze carried a large piece of Explosive Shark meat on his shoulder, and Ace had an extremely rare Explosive Shark Core wrapped around his arm.

The Monster Core of the Exploding Shark, also known as the Ocean Essence, is a treasure coveted by water mages.

If this Sea Spirit is embedded in the staff, it can greatly increase the power of water magic. How could Ace miss such a treasure?

His face was already showing inner joy, and the smile on his face was brighter than the spring sun.

This time, he went to the Pacific Ocean to kill the Exploding Shark. Not only did he get the essence of the sea, but his father also took the opportunity to make a breakthrough and reach the realm of "Templar". How could Ace not be excited and happy?

The Templars, that are as powerful as the Holy Mages!

At this time, Ace's mind was still full of images he had seen in the Pacific Ocean. He watched as his father, Monchi-D-Kamikaze, rushed into the clouds and used his sword to lure down the thunder from the sky, successfully killing hundreds of Krakens and Exploding Sharks.

With such a shocking photo, Ace only felt that it was more pleasing to the eye than the most beautiful photo in the world, and it deserved to be remembered for a lifetime.

Ace asked curiously, "Father, what is your big sword made of?" Why can it withstand the dual magic of fire and light? You can't do it with ordinary materials. ”

Kamikaze smiled and said, "This sword is called Wufeng, and it was given to me by a good brother of mine back then. It is said that the sword is made of a very strange nameless stone and does not possess any attributes. As a result, it can carry magic with different attributes. ”

Ace suddenly realized, where did the so-called nameless stone come from? There's no way to know yet.

"Father, now that you have become a Templar, have you considered returning to the army? After all, the empire needs heroes now. Ace hesitated for a long time before saying this.

The kamikaze looked calm and said, "I spent too long in the army before your mother died. Now, I'm finally staying with your mother. I don't want to break my current life. ”

Speaking of this, Kamikaze turned his head, looked at Ace seriously, and added, "Besides, you can't tell anyone about my breakthrough!" ”

Ace frowned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I see!" "Although I don't understand the exact reason why his father is hiding his strength, I guess he has his own concerns. This is Ace's inner thoughts.

In fact, like Ace, he has also risen two levels in a row and learned the "explosion" magic. At first, he did not tell anyone, but chose to hide his powers. This is a habit he has developed over the years, in order to better protect himself in order to give the enemy an unexpected surprise attack at the most critical moment.

After a day's trip, father and son returned to Nagumo City.

Although the kamikaze was not seriously injured this time, the battle against the Exploding Shark did consume a lot of physical strength and energy.

Therefore, after returning to Nagumo City, Kamikaze went directly back to the ancient castle to rest.

On the contrary, Ace is still full of energy.

Instead of returning to the castle, he walked in the direction of the Ukken house.

Ace is still very concerned about Ukken's condition. This little guy is too skinny.

When he arrived at Ukken's door, Ace saw Michay crouching down and picking up half of the dry bread that had fallen on the ground.

This scene made Ace very uncomfortable.

As the young master of Nanyun City, Ace has lived a life of food and clothing since he was a child and has never starved. However, the two brothers, Uken and Mickey, also live in Nagumo City, and they have lived a hard life since they were young, which makes Ace feel that his fate is a little unfair.

Therefore, in order to change this situation, Ace decided to come and have a good talk with Uken. After all, it was not a long-term plan for the brothers to live on the help of their neighbors.

Through the badly damaged window, Ace did not see Uken.

Ace walked up to Michael, touched his little head, and asked, "Mikey, where is your brother?" ”

Mickey looked up and saw that it was Ace. A cute smile appeared on his dirty face: "Brother Ace! My brother is out of town. He said that the weather is warm and the rabbits will come out. ”

Ace asked with concern, "How is your brother?" Is he better? ”

Xiao Qi said proudly: "My brother has been in good health since he was a child, and after taking the medicine you gave him last time, he will be fine in one day!" ”

Ace smiled too, but he was a little bitter. Life is too difficult for a child without parental care. How old are they? You have to learn to be strong!

There must be a lot of kids like them in the empire.

Soon after, Uken returned from outside the city with pride on his face and a fat rabbit in his hand.

When Uken saw Ace standing in the doorway, he was visibly shocked. The smile on his face immediately hid and turned into loss and shame.

Ace's face went blank. He didn't know why Uken had seen him. The excitement and excitement in his eyes vanished.

Uken lowered his head, his mood suddenly at a low point, and walked past Ace alone before returning home, putting the caught hare aside.

Ace felt that Wuken's mood was abnormal, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Uken bit his lip with his teeth, but did not speak. An inexplicable sense of grievance made his eyes red.

As soon as Ace saw this, he couldn't help but turn his head to Mickey, wanting to get an answer from him. But seeing Mickey's confusion, Ace knew that Mickey must have felt strange too.

Ace looked at Uken's still shabby clothes and couldn't help but ask, "Last time I asked you to buy two fish." That should be enough to buy you a few new clothes. ”

Mickey on the other side said, "My brother didn't move the gold coin." ”

As soon as Ace heard this, he looked at Uken suspiciously: "Why is this?" ”

Uken struggled to resist the urge to cry. After a long time, she said: "I used to say big things in front of you, saying that I would be a hero of the empire like you. However, I couldn't even take care of myself and my brother. ”

After saying this, Uken couldn't hold back any longer. Tears welled up and covered his cheeks. But he still didn't cry, just sobbed quietly.

"I felt useless. I can't even afford to support myself and my brother. I have to be a hero! Uken cried and said in fits and starts.

Ace finally realizes that he knows that Uken has a strong sense of self-esteem, but he didn't expect this little guy to have such a strong sense of self-esteem.

Ace is here tonight to help the brothers with their livelihoods.

Ace knew that too much handouts would only make Ukken, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, feel more miserable and only make him feel more depressed.

"Uken, let me ask you a question." Ace said.

Uken looked up at Ace with tears in his eyes.

"Do you believe me?" Ace asked calmly.

Uken nodded without hesitation, but still did not speak.

Ace said, "That's good." I'll show you the way. Starting tomorrow, you'll go to the Blacksmith Shop in the West to learn how to forge them. ”

Uken was visibly taken aback, and then asked, "You mean, I can't be a magician?" "He almost felt hopeless.

Ace waved his hand and said, "Of course not!" But you should know that becoming a magician requires a certain amount of talent, depending on whether your body has enough magical perception. I mean, if you can find out that you can't be a magician by then, you can still find a way to become a qualified warrior or knight, just like Henry and Zavalado! ”

"But, until then, you have to be ready to be a warrior or a knight! Now, you're too weak and not physically strong enough! Learning to blacksmith will not only allow you and your brother to have food and clothing, but it will also exercise your body. If you really can't be a magician, you can also use your strong body to become a warrior or knight! ”

"What do you think of my suggestion?"

After speaking, Ace looked at Uken solemnly.

Looking at Ace's expression, Uken quickly stopped crying and began to think. After a long time, she asked, "Can learning blacksmithing really feed me and my brother?" ”

Ace smiled and said, "Of course! ”

You should know that in the next few years, Ace will advise his father Kamikaze to let Nagumo City vigorously develop the forging industry. At that time, a large number of young people will begin to learn blacksmithing.

Ace was able to seize the opportunity to learn a skill that would support him and his brother. If he can't be part of the Imperial Army, this is the last guarantee.

Uken gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he had made a lot of determination: "Okay! I believe in Brother Ace! You're not going to lie to me! ”

Ace smiled and touched Ukken's head. The two little ones looked at each other and then both smiled.

From their eyes, Ace saw Puro. In his opinion, this is what two children should have.

Afterwards, Ace took his two children to the Puluo blacksmith shop in the west of the city.

Prolo was naturally happy to see Ace coming. Because Ace taught him a lot of blacksmithing techniques, Pro is very grateful to Ace.

After hearing Ace's story, Proo happily agrees and is willing to accept Uken as an apprentice.

Seeing that Ace's future life was secured, Uken was naturally very happy and bowed deeply to Ace to express his gratitude.

Before leaving, Ace smiled and waved to his brothers, "You two should work hard. I'm waiting for you in the Imperial Barracks! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the Hurricane Eagle Eagle returned to Nanyun City, bringing back a letter from Archbishop St. Guang.

Ace was also impressed by the speed of the Hurricane Eagle Hurricane. In just two days, he flew back and forth between Nanyun City and the imperial capital. The speed is truly amazing.

The letter was concise and to the point, roughly implying that Ace agreed to make contact with the Elemental Envoy, but Ace was responsible for all the consequences. After all, elemental envoys are never good, especially to humans.

At the end of the letter, Miles also asks Ace to be safe and ensure his safe return.

It seems that Ace's fame in the empire is indeed very great. Even the archbishop, who had studied magic in the empire for many years, had heard of Ace's glorious deeds.

......

Early the next morning, Ace woke up early, and then came to Nanyun City with his father, Monchi-D-Kamikaze.

"You have to be careful along the way, especially after entering the forest. It is said that there are many strange creatures in the forest. Once you encounter danger, you can avoid it and don't be tough. Especially in front of the elementals, you can't be too strong. After all, this is their territory, and you can choose to go soft if you can. ”

"If negotiations are really impossible, that's okay. But never provoke them! ”

Hearing his father's sincere words, Ace nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, father, I'm no longer a child." I'll think twice. You don't have to worry. As for whether or not the Elemental Emissaries are willing to enter into a trade relationship with us, let that be. ”

After saying goodbye to the kamikaze, Ace went west. This time, he chose to bring a hurricane. After all, it wasn't long before he was back in the Imperial barracks.

With the rapid flight of the "Hurricane", Ace's speed is naturally very fast.

On the way, Ace also noticed that the scenery along the way had changed very strangely.

Nanyun City was originally located in the southeastern part of the New Delhi Empire. This is a typical wasteland. The land is barren and sparsely populated. Even in the spring, it is still a sight of withered grass. It is only in summer that there is a more pronounced green around Nagumo City.

However, as they continue westward, the otherwise dry yellow earth gradually begins to turn green.

Soon, a vast prairie appeared. The land is fertile and there are herds of cattle and sheep. There are many nomadic peoples.

The people here are mostly tribe-based and stationed in every corner of the vast grasslands.

Ace also sees these sparsely populated nomads in the book. People in the empire like to call them "barbarians".

First of all, this is because the life of these people is still in a relatively primitive state of life, they have not built towns that are as prosperous as the New Delhi Empire, and the level of civilization is still very low;

Secondly, because the herders here are very strong, they are usually taller and stronger than the people of New Delhi, and their strength is naturally very terrifying.

It was for these two reasons that the New Delhi Empire defined them as "barbarians".

The main reason why the Iron Hoof of the Empire did not set foot on this boundless fertile grassland was because they were afraid of the elementals.

If the New Delhi Empire dares to invade this steppe, whose territory borders ancient forests, it will certainly enter into a large-scale conflict with the Kingdom of New Delhi with the arrogance of the Elementals.

The spring breeze blows and the lake ripples like a mirror, adding some vitality to this vast and mysterious forest.

The forest is full of birds and flowers. It's a sight full of spring.

On the shores of this calm lake, a beautiful fairy lies flat on a smooth stone.

Small elements make to look young, about 14 or 15 years old. Her face was full of childishness. He was dressed in white.

Her skin was as white as snow, whiter than the whitest woman in the empire in New Delhi. Her skin is tender and fresh.

A pair of big aqua green eyes are very beautiful, flexible and energetic. The snow-white eyebrows are long and almost extend to the ears.

"Alas, the High Priest really won't let me leave this forest. It's so boring to stay in this forest all day! I wonder what the outside world is like! ”

However, it is cunning and hypocritical for the father and mother to say that the outside world is dangerous, especially a race called humans. Then just avoid humans. Why don't you let me go out for a walk? It really is! ”

The young fairy lay flat on the boulder, her hands crossed behind her head, and her mouth kept talking.

She looked up at the blue sky but saw a strong eagle hovering overhead.

"Alas, if I can learn the 'illusion technique' as soon as possible, I can become a bird and fly out of the forest to see it."

The girl's attention was focused on the eagle, but he didn't notice that a dark yellow leopard was slowly approaching her 30 meters away from him.

Seeing that the leopard was already ten meters away from the small elemental envoy, the minor elemental envoy was still unaware of the danger.

The silent leopard saw that the "prey" had entered its attack range, so it jumped up and pounced on the cute fairy lying on the boulder.

At this moment, a dark purple dagger suddenly shot out of the dense forest, pointing at the fierce leopard that flew in.

However, this "leopard" suddenly turned into a tall elemental envoy in the air and escaped the purple dagger.

"Be careful, Jennifer!" The tall Elemental Envoy immediately threw the Elemental Envoy to the ground and blocked her with his body.

Then, the elemental who had transformed from the "leopard" looked into the depths of the forest with a vigilant face and roared, "Who is it!" How dare you assassinate the noble elemental princess! ”

It was Ace who shot the dagger purple. Before entering the forest, he left "hope" outside the forest. This time he entered the forest, and he didn't want to be too high-profile, so he wasn't going to bring the little Titan "Freedom" to come.

At this time, Ace, who was standing on a large tree, was a little confused. He clearly saw that a ferocious leopard was preparing to kill the unsuspecting little elemental girl. But why did the beast turn into an elemental form in the sky and still protect the elemental girl? This is really beyond Ace's comprehension.

"Who is TMD? Get out! The tall elemental in elite armor shouted angrily again.
